A wholesale update is likely out of the question, it involves an ABI break (involving at least a large number of package rebuilds) Important, targeted bugfixes can be backported. Did you have anything particular in mind?
I had this one in mind: very often I can not read scanned files in epdfview so I am hoping that this will fix it: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58569 An example document where i have the problem I am referring to: http://datamining.dongguk.ac.kr/graph/p571-augustson.pdf It "loads" using epdfview but does not render. I was also planning to patch epdfview using the following, but that needs updated poppler and cups. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/pst/epdfview.html Thanks again!
that pdf seems to load/render fine for me using both evince and okular. as an aside, there's little/no chance of seeing cups-1.6.x land in f18 either (it's only in rawhide targeting f19, and it changes a *lot*)
are you able to load in epdfview? this is the problem for me. evince and okular are such hogs: they are sometimes unable to load huge pdf files. cups is not an issue as far as this rendering goes.
epdfview indeed fails here, whereas evnice/poppler do not. Re-assigning (and updating summary to match)
(make that evince/okular)
Unfortunately the development of epdfview ceased upstream. The upstream developer is not interested in working on it any further. He recommends switching to evince-gtk (see also bug 906121) or zathura. The epdfview package will be removed from future Fedora releases. I do not have the time to debug epdfview myself.
